Well spaced out and stock was clear and organized. My girlfriends after a wig so ive seen a few of these places and im starting to wonder how they could do things differently. It hit me in this one: Customer Service. Out of all the shops we've been in this might be the first one with a shop keeper to ask what we were looking for an engage in a conversation. Made all the difference. Still no wig though.

I went in to have a look at the wigs. The lady in store was quite friendly and helpful but they didn't have what I was after. There are all kinds of hair products and many colours and styles of wig. They also sell oil burners, which you an smell as you enter the store.

I don't usually purchase many cosmetics i.e. make-up items like foundation but I do love things like lipstick and nail varnish- and Beauty Queen Cosmetics offers a range of beauty products and hair products. I normally go to Beauty Queen on Soho Road for lipstick and nail polish, especially as they sell brands like Sleek which has only just started appearing in a couple of the mainstream cosmetic shops. For black women, it's sometimes really difficult to get beauty products for your skin or lipsticks that stand out on your complexion. This store is always pretty busy; it's the only one on Soho Road. One slight criticism I would say is that sometimes the staff can be a little too in your face, trying to get you to buy products. I wish sometimes they'd just give you some time to have a look in peace and then you'd have a better idea of what you want. When I went in the store last week, I ended up walking out and didn't buy anything because I felt too pressured.

The number of hair extensions, wigs and gels here is extraordinary. This is more of a ladies shop however there are some hair products in here specifically for men. There are also deodorants you can purchase and the prices of products I have to say are definitely affordable. If you are looking for variety in hair extensions and wigs, this is the place to visit in my view. Although this is a big shop, the passageways here are very narrow and there were times where I struggled to get past fellow customers. Considering this is a shop that specialises in cosmetics and is targeted at predominately females, I was surprised to see the majority of staff working here are male. But despite this they do know their stuff. Customer service is second to none and they will help you out.

The shop is massive and shiny and everything looks new and wonderful. As well as wigs, both synthetic and human hair, they have extensions a plenty and many other products like hair dyes, pomades, scarves, shampoos and whole shelf of treatment oils which are as little as a couple of quid for a pretty big bottle. I couldn't possibly list all the products they sell as this shop is rammed. The staff are polite and happy to help and I definitely recommend popping in for a look.

Most people have a ritual in their day to day life. For example my morning ritual is to wake up,…read moreshower, get ready and eat breakfast. And the shop Rituals is a great place to nurture your routine and rediscover happiness in the smallest of ways. Here they have everything you may need in a variety of products. They develop high quality cosmetic products to nurture, enrich and help your body. Their products range from facial care, organic cotton, perfumes, gemstone make-up and tea. Pretty diverse isn't it? I think their products aim to make you appreciate the little things in life like tea and nice scented baths. I also like their products because they feel more natural and generally healthier. As great as their products are they come at a price. The bigger the product the more you pay and there are also some nice gift sets available. A small bottle could cost approximately £3.50, a medium sized bottle is approximately £8.00 and a large bottle is at least £10.00. If your routine is getting boring and you have the money then I recommend coming here and giving their products a try.

It's virtually impossible to buy hair removal wax tubs from the High Street stores but I found it here for just £5! And they have a choice between lavender, aloe vera and pink wax. I also found that St Ives face scrub (which is the guru of my skincare regime!) is a lot cheaper here than elsewhere. They have a random selection of cheap cosmetics that tend to be in retro shades - Pat Butcher from Eastenders comes to mind! Although some of their eye-shadows and nail varnishes are interesting because bright colours are trending. Oddly enough, towards the back of the shop there is a post office so you can get your postal needs as well as grooming products under one roof!

They also offer free gift wrap which is great to take advantage of (although be aware how busy they are, as near last Christmas I had no choice but to get it gift wrapped as I was meeting the friend it was for later and people were not happy with me - tut tutting away!) Staff are friendly and you do have to ask them for help if you want to try a fragrance which is the only downside - as all the fragrances are behind them. Again if it is busy you might have to wait a while to be served but when you are they are fast without rushing you!
